afs: Fix race in async call refcounting

2019-01-17T15:17:28+00:00

There's a race between afs_make_call() and afs_wake_up_async_call() in the
case that an error is returned from rxrpc_kernel_send_data() after it has
queued the final packet.

afs_make_call() will try and clean up the mess, but the call state may have
been moved on thereby causing afs_process_async_call() to also try and to
delete the call.

Fix this by:

 (1) Getting an extra ref for an asynchronous call for the call itself to
     hold.  This makes sure the call doesn't evaporate on us accidentally
     and will allow the call to be retained by the caller in a future
     patch.  The ref is released on leaving afs_make_call() or
     afs_wait_for_call_to_complete().

 (2) In the event of an error from rxrpc_kernel_send_data():

     (a) Don't set the call state to AFS_CALL_COMPLETE until *after* the
     	 call has been aborted and ended.  This prevents
     	 afs_deliver_to_call() from doing anything with any notifications
     	 it gets.

     (b) Explicitly end the call immediately to prevent further callbacks.

     (c) Cancel any queued async_work and wait for the work if it's
     	 executing.  This allows us to be sure the race won't recur when we
     	 change the state.  We put the work queue's ref on the call if we
     	 managed to cancel it.

     (d) Put the call's ref that we got in (1).  This belongs to us as long
     	 as the call is in state AFS_CALL_CL_REQUESTING.

rxrpc: Fix life check

2018-11-15T19:35:40+00:00

The life-checking function, which is used by kAFS to make sure that a call
is still live in the event of a pending signal, only samples the received
packet serial number counter; it doesn't actually provoke a change in the
counter, rather relying on the server to happen to give us a packet in the
time window.

Fix this by adding a function to force a ping to be transmitted.

kAFS then keeps track of whether there's been a stall, and if so, uses the
new function to ping the server, resetting the timeout to allow the reply
to come back.

If there's a stall, a ping and the call is *still* stalled in the same
place after another period, then the call will be aborted.

afs: Probe multiple fileservers simultaneously

2018-10-23T23:41:09+00:00

Send probes to all the unprobed fileservers in a fileserver list on all
addresses simultaneously in an attempt to find out the fastest route whilst
not getting stuck for 20s on any server or address that we don't get a
reply from.

This alleviates the problem whereby attempting to access a new server can
take a long time because the rotation algorithm ends up rotating through
all servers and addresses until it finds one that responds.

afs: Eliminate the address pointer from the address list cursor

2018-10-23T23:41:09+00:00

Eliminate the address pointer from the address list cursor as it's
redundant (ac->addrs[ac->index] can be used to find the same address) and
address lists must be replaced rather than being rearranged, so is of
limited value.

afs: Implement the YFS cache manager service

2018-10-23T23:41:08+00:00

Implement the YFS cache manager service which gives extra capabilities on
top of AFS.  This is done by listening for an additional service on the
same port and indicating that anyone requesting an upgrade should be
upgraded to the YFS port.

afs: Handle EIO from delivery function

2018-10-23T23:41:07+00:00

Fix afs_deliver_to_call() to handle -EIO being returned by the operation
delivery function, indicating that the call found itself in the wrong
state, by printing an error and aborting the call.

Currently, an assertion failure will occur.  This can happen, say, if the
delivery function falls off the end without calling afs_extract_data() with
the want_more parameter set to false to collect the end of the Rx phase of
a call.

The assertion failure looks like:

	AFS: Assertion failed
	4 == 7 is false
	0x4 == 0x7 is false
	------------[ cut here ]------------
	kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:462!

and is matched in the trace buffer by a line like:

kworker/7:3-3226 [007] ...1 85158.030203: afs_io_error: c=0003be0c r=-5 CM_REPLY

afs: Set up the iov_iter before calling afs_extract_data()

2018-10-23T23:41:07+00:00

afs_extract_data sets up a temporary iov_iter and passes it to AF_RXRPC
each time it is called to describe the remaining buffer to be filled.

Instead:

 (1) Put an iterator in the afs_call struct.

 (2) Set the iterator for each marshalling stage to load data into the
     appropriate places.  A number of convenience functions are provided to
     this end (eg. afs_extract_to_buf()).

     This iterator is then passed to afs_extract_data().

 (3) Use the new ITER_DISCARD iterator to discard any excess data provided
     by FetchData.
